Our Donkey Slaps! | Rough Seas on an Aluminium Catamaran | Sailing with the James's (Ep. 44)

OUR DONKEY SLAPS! We are sailing some rough seas, getting some donkey slaps doing improvements to our fuel system and how we dip the tanks. This alloy boat keeps getting better and better with speeds. The past three months sailing life on our project boat have been eventful. We purchased an old, unfinished aluminium catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. We are a full time liveaboard family living on a sailboat, sailing the east coast of Australia. Come join us below deck on our aluminum catamaran, the floating home of this Sailing Family.
